Man stable after ATV crash in Handy Twp.

A 32-year-old Webberville man remained in stable condition Monday at an Ann Arbor hospital after being thrown from an all-terrain vehicle on Saturday.

Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte said Jeffery Dueweke was operating a 2007 Honda TRX 400 eastbound on Van Orden Road in Handy Township around 8 p.m. at a “high rate of speed” when he lost control and crashed in the intersection of Cedar Road.

“He was ejected as (the ATV) rolled,” the sheriff explained. “He was not wearing a helmet and speed and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash.”

Survival Flight transported Dueweke to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.

Emergency crews closed the Van Orden and Cedar roads intersection for about two and a half hours while accident re-constructionists investigated.

Bezotte said Dueweke was cited for hazardous action.

Fowlerville firefighters and Livingston County EMS assisted at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Department’s Traffic Safety Bureau team.
